I'm looking at options for buying Adobe CS4 Design Standard in the UK.
The cheapest authorised reseller seems to be via amazon for around
�1,000.

There is another seller called pb software
(http://www.pbsoftware.co.uk/) which has a good price. Research shows
that they're not an official Adobe reseller. It looks like they buy from
the US then sell on in the UK (though I can't confirm this).

I don't know how this works legally. I know a friend who ordered through
them and has had no problems: the software works fine and he's even rung
up Adobe (US) and his name is on their registration database.

Does anyone know the full legal position on ordering US Adobe software
and registering it in the UK? 

Any experiences? War stories?
